Audience Reviews for Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth

A great documentary about the making-of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"! It gets quite detailed and gritty, and gives a good idea how rugged the production was. Better than the "A Family Portrait" documentary. Recommended for TCM fans! (and I don't mean "Turner Classic Movies")_

I love the lore and stories behind TCM as it is one of my favorites. This is a worthy documentary featuring Tobe Hooper and some of the cast and crew. One thing that I never think gets its due and is still understated here is the Bell/Hooper score and Daniel Pearl's amazing cinematography. Still felt this could have had more of the negative response to cast members and crew getting screwed out of the majority of profits by a mafia business. This doc serves it's purpose but I'd rather read the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Companion again.
